Polydrive

Polydrive is an experimental open source alternative to Google Drive. It allows users to synchronize their files on multiple devices.

The project is experimental and should not be used in any production systems.

Polydrive is written in Scala for the file manager, and Rust for the client. It makes use of an external database, MongoDB to store data about the files, and those files are uploaded to an object storage system, MinIO.

Development

Run the docker-compose.yml at the root of the project in order to run development services :

$ docker-compose up -d

Mongo URL : mongodb://localhost:27017,localhost:27018/?replicaSet=polydrive-rs

Minio access key : polydrive

Minio secret key : polydrive

Minio console : http://localhost:9001

Minio API : http://localhost:9000

Add the following entry to your /etc/hosts file :

127.0.0.1 mongo-rs-1 mongo-rs-2 mongo-rs-3

In a terminal, run the server :

$ cd server && sbt
$ sbt:polydrive> ~run

In another terminal, run a client as a daemon:

$ cd client
$ cargo run -- --daemon --verbose --watch /tmp

[MongoDB] Implement file versioning
When #14 is done, we must be able to store every single version of files into mongoDB.

When an update is down / deletion, describe a way to create several versions of the same file.

Questions:

Will APIs be impacted by this change ?

What data is needed from client for each version in addition to currently held data ?

What happens when a file is deleted ? Is it a version or the data is deleted ?

client: add synchronizer component

This PR adds the synchronizer component to the client, responsible for subscribing to server notifications and handling events. At the moment, it simply logs the event when it is received.

add API to watch file

This PR adds the watch behavior when we run the client in server mode.

To test : cargo run -- --server --verbose --watch "/tmp"

The command above will watch every changes in the /tmp folder. Adapt the command to your needs.
